And how dare this awful religious bigot complain about people celebrating the abortion referendum win in ROI!

The leader of the Democratic Unionist party, Arlene Foster, has been warned to be sensitive to Scottish politics after it emerged that she will lead an Orange Order parade in Fife at the end of June.

She looks like a really bad drag act!

She looks like a really bad drag act!

Looks like Deena’s ready to hit the town.

I don't agree with abusing people because of their appearance.

She is describing herself to a deaf journalist...

Nice.
So now you’re prejudiced against people who have different religious views to you?

She made the sign - not me.

I detest bigots though, if that's any help to your profiling of me.

(And as you are a self-professed Jew and Muslim hater, I don't think you should be shouting too loud about religious prejudice)

Do you think that Arlene Foster is a "religious bigot" as per the OP's opening post?

Many do - but let's test it by using the MungoBrush religious bigotry test...

There are other groups who come here who clearly don’t like the way things are

They don’t like our food so they want us all to change to their ways
MUSLIMS JEWS CATHOLICS

They don’t like our schools so they start their own
MUSLIMS JEWS CATHOLICS

They don’t like our clothes so the wear other stuff
MUSLIMS JEWS CATHOLICS

They don’t like our laws so they try to change them
MUSLIMS JEWS CATHOLICS

No, doesn't really work - any other ideas?

The DUP party is riven with them. As leader of Labour, you endlessly droned on at Corbyn and his handling of supposed anti-Semitism. I assume DUP leadership gets similar treatment from you ?

Creationism is pretty rare in the United Kingdom, but not unheard of among the elected politicians of the DUP.

Last year the party's Assembly member for West Tyrone, Thomas Buchanan, praised an event promoting the rejection of evolution among children.

He told the Irish News: "I’m someone who believes in creationism and that the world was spoken into existence in six days by His power."

The Caleb Foundation, described as one of the leading creationist pressure groups in Northern Ireland, pushed for creationist theory to be displayed at the Giant's Causeway - and its chairman met none other than Arlene Foster, then tourism minister and now DUP leader, to discuss the request.

The Caleb Foundation are also involved with DUP's refusal to accept gay marriage in NI. DUP Assembly member Mervyn Storey sits on the council of the evangelical Caleb Foundation, which warns Northern Ireland is on a "very dangerous and sinister road" and there must be "no room for compromise".

And I haven't even mentioned the terrorist links.

The terrorist group Ulster Resistance was founded by a collection of people who went on to be prominent DUP politicians.

Former First Minister Peter Robinson, for example, who was DUP leader and Northern Ireland’s first minister until last year, was an active member of Ulster Resistance.

Find out just how religion plays a part in pressuring NI politicians here...

The DUP party is riven with them.

So, what is your definition of a religious bigot?
And do you think that these religious bigots should be allowed to influence the laws of this country to impose their bigoted ideas on the rest of us who are not at all religious?

Any person who uses their own religion to influence their thinking, has strong, unreasonable ideas, esp. about other's race or religion, and who thinks anyone who does not have the same beliefs is wrong is a religious bigot.

I'm surprised you didn't know that.

As a person who eschews religion, I believe that laws should be designed around the principles of fairness, equal enforcement and independent adjudication.

We agree!
And you obviously agree with my original post that McAz got so wound up about

In my view, people should be free to practice whatever religion they like and wear and eat whatever they like
But they should NOT be trying to impose their warped ideas on the rest of us.

I didn't think that she was a Catholic, so can't understand the point that was (or wasn't) made.

If you want to argue with McAz, do it with him. Don't try using me as some kind of intermediate weapon.
